The Spy Who Came In From The Cold with Cody Greenlee

The Healing Club ·

2023/01/24

Silly energy and big smiles. Happy conversations and joke homilies from two stupid faces on this episode. Nothing mopey. No one delves into deep wells of despair or victim shame on this one. Perfectly goofy and natural as we talk about the songs that reached number one in the charts on our birthdays in the different years we turned twenty-three. This whole thing feels like two people hanging out and laughing together the way people might at age twenty-three. Fun times. Big energy. No mention of the

Sing Street with Arielle Isaac Norman

The Healing Club ·

2023/01/17

Arielle Isaac Norman returns! This podcast features an elaborate intro with music in the background playing so that my weird upstairs neighbor won't hear every word I say through the thin walls of my tiny apartment! I read a passage from the Dana Spiotta novel WAYWARD, a novel about a depressed woman whose midlife crisis happens shortly after Trump is elected in 2016. The out of context passage has nothing to do with anything, and no one in the podcast mentions the 2016 John Carney coming of age

Play Misty for Me with Russell Simek

The Healing Club ·

2023/01/11

The talk in this one goes sci-fi, philosophical, speculative, and dreamy as we peer into the inner trash can of my soul and my comedy. Russell Simek returns to converse about artificial intelligence, synchronicity, and the changeable nature of human identity. It's confusing and topical, political and surreal. During the intro I explore why Jessica Walter's performance in Clint Eastwood's 1971 directorial debut PLAY MISTY FOR ME makes me so self-conscious and uncomfortable. As usual, there's a stupid

The Killing of a Chinese Bookie with Joe Hanrahan

The Healing Club ·

2023/01/03

During the intro I apologize for how horrible the last episode was in that conversation throughout which I thought I was being funny but was not, actually, very funny. I also read a citation from the Greg Grandin book THE END OF THE MYTH and describe in passing the Camara Laye novel THE RADIANCE OF THE KING. I sing along to the Guided By Voices song "My Kind of Soldier" and ramble discursively about private fears and current anxieties. Not funny at all. Zero stars. We don't even talk about the 1976

A Brighter Summer Day with Will Loden, Jose Pena and...

The Healing Club ·

2022/12/29

Cacophony of voices chattering and smattering, describing and delighting with words of nothing at the end of a night of heavy drinking. Irrepressibly irresponsible and stupid as Hell! This is some sort of endurance test or something. If you lose a bet, you should have to listen to this podcast in public and make sense of it to an audience. This is so much of a punishment and a chore to sit through that I didn't even listen to it first before releasing it. Here it is, whatever it is. Good luck

Love Exposure with Albert DeLeon

The Healing Club ·

2022/12/19

Merry Christmas mothers and fuckers! This is a very filthy Christmas episode of the goddamned Healing Club with cock-sucking surprise guest Albert DeLeon returning to talk about Christmas and family and joy and love and rape and ghosts and harmony and magic! Albert's been on Just For Laughs New Faces of Comedy and Moontower Comedy Festival and so much more! Follow his TikTok! Listen to this podcast and enjoy!

Kajillionaire with Emily Peacock

The Healing Club ·

2022/12/13

Emily Peacock returns to chat about comedy, art, music, movies, childhood, parenthood, teaching, trauma, and Metallica. We don't talk at all about the 2020 Miranda July film Kajillionaire (which was the last movie I saw at the historic River Oaks Theater before it closed), but we do have a good time as always. Please enjoy another fun time capsule podcast window into our souls and psyches. Also included is a standup set of mine in the middle of the episode in case this random conversation we're

Portrait of a Lady on Fire with Astra Adara

The Healing Club ·

2022/12/06

Astra Adara joins the podcast to talk about stars, destiny, sexuality, and poverty in the United States. We make history together as we discuss the meaning of experience and/or love. She reads some Tarot cards for me and diagnoses me as a hopeless person. This is a funny podcast with some serious attitude. Like and subscribe! Follow and share!

Jennifer's Body with Eddy Aviles and Tess Vergult

The Healing Club ·

2022/11/30

These two recurring guests are back, and if you come to any ComedyHubHouston shows this year you can thank Eddy Aviles for creating these opportunities to have fun. Tess Vergult runs some of the best shows in town every T&A Tuesday at The Secret Group at Ten O'Clock. Every single one of us has a kick in their step for this conversation about one of the best movies I've never seen: Jennifer's Body. I seriously don't remember what we talked about on this one, so I hope it's all right because it's

Glass Onion with Mandy Trichell

The Healing Club ·

2022/11/26

Mandy Trichell returns to talk about her work as a women's reproductive rights activist, and the conversation careens into other topics such as socialism and the war on drugs. It's politically charged, but also silly and down to earth. We talk about growing older on a planet that feels like a dysfunctional home. It's a good vibe. We have a nice time. It's a fun podcast. Listen, like, and subscribe. I saw the movie Glass Onion the other day, but we don't talk about it.

Beasts of the Southern Wild with Cody Greenlee and...

The Healing Club ·

2022/11/13

I couldn't remember the name of the movie with Quvenzhane Wallis, Beasts of the Southern Wild, somewhere in the middle of this episode. Cody Greenlee and I look up people from the past in order to see what they're saying on social media. We talk about rumors of pranks we heard about third-hand in high school, and jobs we've left on bad terms. One of my old managers tried standup a few weeks ago and I didn't even stay to see how bad it was. I talk about working at that job, and then Andy (my

Gummo with Warren Wright

The Healing Club ·

2022/11/09

Warren Wright returns to RAP WITH ME about structural inequality, crisis comedy, and institutionalized stupidity at the end of the world. This is the day after mid-term elections, and things aren't looking good since the Democrats seem poised to lose control of yet another Congress. Warren and I wonder why we're both such miserable sad boys when all we really care about is having fun and feeling good. It's an interesting question and a funny episode with two neurodiverse comedy aspirants from the

Quiz Show with Danny Guerrero

The Healing Club ·

2022/10/31

This podcast was an emotional roller-coaster! Big topics! Great fun! Sad times! Don't smoke too much weed out of a dirty bong or else you'll become a checked out spectator of your own life. That's what we learned. We also talk about the movie Quiz Show, which is one of my all time top five favorite films. Great comedy!

TraumaZone with Adam Radliffe

The Healing Club ·

2022/10/23

Wacky intro with silly voices and a truly horrible ad for Anchor.com at the top of the episode, and then a poorly recorded drunken shuffle of immature pitter patter back and forth comedy joshing through the middle of the thing. Suddenly the conversation in the program shuts down for some mysterious reason, so I cut it off abruptly and talk about a book called FAREWELL TRANSMISSION. This book was written by my high school friend Will McGrath. Also I actually talk about the movie this time. Watch the

They Live with Micah Green

The Healing Club ·

2022/10/19

Micah Green returns to talk about Iron Maiden songs, popular culture, teenage heartbreak, info-tainment wars, social media branding, collective longing, and what happened when the entire audience boo'ed him at the Joe Pera standup show at White Oak Music Hall last week. This could be our best podcast together. Maybe it's the one that'll find an audience. Maria Bamford does a ten second ad for the show at the beginning. I really like the 1988 John Carpenter sci-fi thriller They Live, but we don't

At Play in the Fields of the Lord with Tess Vergult...

2022/10/12

I'm opening for Maria Bamford this weekend. Tess and Eddy are two recurring guests. Two of the best guests. This is a chaotic podcast with a few of the same questions Eddy usually asks about why gay men get horny, but also some genuinely sweet moments of joy and fun laughs. I'm opening for Maria Bamford this weekend at Rockefellers. Buy your tickets through Comedy Hub Houston. We don't talk about the movie adaptation of the Peter Matthiessen novel At Play in the Fields of the Lord. I've never even

Near Dark with Chelby Morgan, Radu Bondar and Jamal...

The Healing Club ·

2022/10/07

This episode may sound a little different because it was recorded in the podcast studio at The Secret Group. We talk about my favorite scene in Braveheart, which was when the gay guy got thrown out of a window. Everyone shares their stories of suicide attempts, and I talk about the consequences of getting slightly fatter. Radu pitches a premise for an idea for a Juwanna Mann sequel or whatever. I really liked the 1987 Kathryn Bigelow horror film Near Dark, but we don't talk about it.

A Separation with Stephanie D

The Healing Club ·

2022/09/30

Quick update: I haven't smoked one cigarette in the two weeks since Stephanie and I recorded this episode. That's the good news. The bad news is I lost in the semi-final round of the Funniest Person in Houston comedy contest. I still hoped I could win two weeks ago, but I didn't. Stephanie and I check in with each other for the first time in a while after all those crazy podcasts we did together a year and a half ago. I'm significantly happier in every way nowadays, and it shows. We have a really

Jesus' Son with Dulce Mac

The Healing Club ·

2022/09/25

Not a Christian episode, not a literary episode, no mention of the 1999 heroin comedy Jesus' Son (starring Billy Crudup and Samantha Morton)... this is a chatty little gem of local comedy cross-talk with myself and Dulce Mac. It gets into sex, drugs, rock and roll and all the rest of it. We have fun. I talk about a contest I didn't know I would lose in the second round. Nothing important. No big deal. Reverse psychology. Don't subscribe. Don't share. Don't enjoy.

The Florida Project with Micah Green

The Healing Club ·

2022/09/19

Micah Green returns for a fun-filled conversation I don't remember because it was almost two weeks ago and so much has changed. We just try to keep up with each other and metaphorically peacock walk as well as we know how, podcast-wise. The 2017 Sean Baker directed docu-style comedy-drama The Florida Project is one of the best movies I've seen in recent years, but we don't talk about it. I mention in the middle that I'm reading DREAMLAND: The True Tale of America's Opiate Epidemic, by Sam Quinones
